Is Bradley Cooper Dating Jennifer Lawrence?

And if Bradley Cooper is dating Jennifer Lawrence, because Silver Linings Playbook just sparked a crazy romance, what do we call them? Brennifer? It sounds like the kind of breakfast pastry you’d get in Prague. I’m behind that, actually.

“If it didn’t happen by now, it’s not gonna happen,” he said. “I could literally be her father.”

Bradley Cooper is 38, Jennifer Lawrence is 22.

On one hand, that does not strike me at a HUGE age gap. Honestly, I think once you’re out of school and having a professional career and generally living a grown-up life, you get to date whoever you want. Jennifer Lawrence is presumably living on her own and earning her own way. She is an adult at this point.

But, on the other hand, I’m happy that Bradley Cooper is not is not some Charlie Sheen type who feels like the correct of age of women to be dating is always “22″ regardless of his own age. That seems like a mature thing to be aware of.

Though, if he’d fathered Jennifer Lawrence, he’d have been a sad teen dad. I feel like the sentiment only really carries weight when it would not have been surprising if you were someone’s father.
